Yemen

I asked for confirmation from the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Middle East and Africa) Tobias Ellwood MP that the UK remains fully committed to diplomatic efforts to find a peaceful solution to the conflict in Yemen. The Minister said that is at the heart of what we now need to achieve; that we are now in ​discussions, we will speak to the UN envoy about the quad meeting at the very earliest opportunity, so that we can get the parties back around the table in Kuwait and put in place a cessation of hostilities agreement.
